Premier calls for investigation into Nova Scotia Power over handling of cyberattack

Party leader Claudia Chender said that instead of helping Nova Scotians, the government has kicked 46,000 people out of eligibility for a home-heating assistance program and reduced the one-time rebate amount of that program by $200.
